Objective:

To enhance the immunogenicity and persistence of hepatitis B vaccination in hemodialysis patients through high-dose and prolonged vaccination schedules.

Key Findings:
  • The antibody response peaked at month 7, with response rates decreasing over time across all groups.
  • The duration of protective antibody levels was significantly longer in the IM60 × 4 group (29.2 months) compared to IM20 × 3 group (21.0 months).
  • All adverse reactions reported were mild.
Interpretation:

Triple-strength 4-dose hepatitis B vaccination regimens significantly enhance immunogenicity and prolong the duration of protective antibodies in hemodialysis patients compared to standard regimens.

Limitations:
  • The study was conducted in a single region (Shanxi province, China), which may limit generalizability.
  • The follow-up period, while extensive, may not capture long-term effects beyond 30 months.
Conclusion:

The triple-strength 4-dose hepatitis B vaccination regimen is more effective in maintaining protective antibody levels in hemodialysis patients, suggesting a need for revised vaccination strategies.
